[QUOTE="mmoy, post: 169337, member: 9872"] And imacs now too. So would you go from a PMac G5 64 bits with 32 GPRs and 32 Multimedia registers to a Pentium M 32-bits with 8 GPRs and 8 Multimedia registers and no 64-bits? I have a PowerMac G5 and do use those 64 bits even though Panther is a 32-bit operating system. The PowerPC is great in that you can do 64-bit arithmetic even while running in 32-bit mode which is something that chips from Intel and AMD can't. [/QUOTE]
